8 cylinders, 8 speed DCT, 1000 lbs. and sure, it's coming to America....yeah, right. Call me when it's sitting at a dealership. They tried this crap at AIM expo 2 years ago, this year they trotted it out at CES.

Oooh, let's all make fun of the silly Chinese company and their silly motorcycle! Right?
